My ROBLOX, and Guest headcanon dump
1.) "Who is ROBLOX?"
ROBLOX is a sentient world and a very old entity that had formed as soon as the concept of Robloxia was created.
They are Robloxia's physical personification and avatar. (hence them later adapting ROBLOX advertisement clothes). They took the form of a Robloxian in order to interact with its population of residents.
The are the soul and personality of Robloxia itself and is closely connected to the Administrators because they trust the Admins in making big decisions in shaping Robloxia and its future.
Despite their odd existence being described as "godlike", Roblox is somewhat mortal, which can be scary for Robloxians to process.
To a Robloxian, Roblox's lifespan would be expected to be comparable to that of a star. And just like the sun, when Roblox reaches the end of their lifespan, all of Robloxia will collapse one day.
Their wellness is also connected to whatever thw state Robloxia is in.
2.) "What are Guests?"
To me,
Guests are a special type of Robloxian entity that were originally created by being cloned off of ROBLOX's avatar, as they have no independence to customize their avatar off the website or use currency like tix or robux.
Because Guests are cloned off of ROBLOX, they are supposed to represent their world to a lesser and weaker extent.
While they don't inherit any of ROBLOX's unique abilities, Guests are special because they have no distinct names as identifying info, or any other form of security protecting them from being controlled.
Guests get "hacked" 24/7. It is part of their job.
Because of how they originated, you can nickname Guests "ROBLOXbloxians" if you want but nobody EVER calls a Guest that.
3.) "Why did ROBLOX create the Guests?"
At the time, the Robloxian population and their home was still very small.
The Robloxians needed more of their own to help expand their home. Ocassionally they stared off into the stars of skybox, and wondered if anyone from the loud, otherworldly vastness was even aware of their existence.
But it was difficult seeing what Robloxia even looked like without a physical body.
ROBLOX's team eventually came up with an idea.
ROBLOX would clone themselves 9999 times, and employ these clones as silent but friendly tour guides.
Guests had no names or anything like a password securing them, so anyone could possess them and physically interact with Robloxia's realm.
The Guests were then sent on a mission to showcase the wonders of Robloxia to the formless beings from the greater, uncomprehensible, eldritch plane of existence.
The goal of a Guest was to hope that whoever controlled them would read the directions on the back of their shirts so Builderman had a new Robloxian to greet.
It was a simpler time, so they had enough free time to do silly things like that.
Less to worry about, and more options for Robloxians to cause chaos that ROBLOX & co haven't foreseen yet.
When ROBLOX used to control what Guests wore, they had alot of fun making Guests wear silly hats, sometimes to celebrate sponsorships and giving them warm parkas to wear for the winter.
Guests were often seen as annoying, players hated them.
It was a pain for the moderation team deal with rulebreakers that used the control of the anonymous Guests to their advantage.
And Guests couldn't even spend money.
But still, ROBLOX liked having their Guests around even though their existence was a pain to maintain
4. "The Bloxxer Trio"
By 2011, ROBLOX retired from their position of hosting the Guest outfits and created the DefaultGuest (genderless), BillyBloxxer (masculine) and BettyBloxxer (feminine) to pass down their role onto.
The Bloxxer trio would be the host of different gender presentations for Guest outfits.
Unlike ROBLOX, the Bloxxers didn't really change their outfits much for special occasions, they probably just thought staying in the same uniform was what they were supposed to do.
They decided to change their outfits when it was time for a rebrand.
I think the three tried to do their best looking after ROBLOX's Guests though.
The Bloxxer trio was probably most excited when brought to combat related games since there is a classic badge that shares their name.
(I know the reason Guests were removed was likely because of money but I prefer to believe that Roblox really cared about the Guests as an entity they created and was sad to see their eventual retirement, as the population grew overwhelmingly big by then and now ROBLOX is attempting to safety proof everything.)
